EnglishWhat Is Unlocator and What Does It Offer?
Updated
Unlocator is a combined VPN and Smart DNS service sold under one account. It is aimed at people who want two things at once: an encrypted, private connection for everyday browsing and banking, and smooth access to streaming services on devices that often can't run a VPN app, such as smart TVs and consoles. The official site advertises a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee on subscriptions, so you can test it before committing.
The three modes: VPN, Smart DNS, and Hybrid
Unlocator's core idea is that one subscription covers three ways of connecting, and you pick the one that fits the task.
VPN: privacy and security
The VPN encrypts your connection so you can sign in, bank, and shop with confidence, including on public Wi-Fi at hotels, airports, and cafés. The site lists 256-bit ("bank-level") encryption and support for the WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols. Practical extras include single-click connection with no manual configuration, connect-on-startup, and saved favorite locations.
Smart DNS: streaming without an app
Smart DNS is the streaming-focused mode. According to the site, it requires no apps and causes no speed loss, with quick starts and stable playback on TVs, consoles, and other devices for services worldwide. This is the mode to consider when the device itself can't install a VPN client.
Hybrid: both at once
Hybrid blends VPN encryption with Smart DNS performance, so you get privacy plus smooth streaming across devices, including on home Wi-Fi and public hotspots.

How to decide if it fits your situation
- Choose the VPN mode if your main concern is protecting your connection on public or shared Wi-Fi while browsing, banking, or shopping.
- Choose Smart DNS if your priority is streaming on a TV, console, or other device where installing a VPN app isn't practical, and you don't want speed loss.
- Choose Hybrid if you want encryption and streaming performance together, for example on a laptop you also use for streaming at home or on hotel Wi-Fi.
- Consider the device math: the 10-device VPN limit is per household, while Smart DNS is described as unlimited across streaming devices. If you have many screens, that split matters.
Trying it before paying
The site promotes a 7-day free trial and backs all subscriptions with a 30-day money-back guarantee, described as "no questions asked." A sensible approach is to use the trial to test the mode you actually need — for example, streaming stability on your TV via Smart DNS, or connection speed on your phone via the VPN — before subscribing. Current pricing and any login requirements aren't specified in the available site information, so check those on the site itself rather than assuming terms.
